Boosting and pooling European training plans on IHL

This session will focus on the French Red Cross and MFA experience to build together with humanitarian actors an IHL training plan directed to the public and the private sector, including to the armed forces and the defense industry. Capitalizing on this previous experience will allow European member States exploring how to work together with European National Societies and IHL Commissions’ networks to duplicate a training plan on IHL dissemination. One of the final objectives will be to reinforce European diplomats and political representatives’ knowledge and expertise in IHL to better fulfill their international obligations (including based on art. 1 GC and IC Resolution).
